First, I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. I hope y'all have a wonderful day of fun, food, and family time. Somehow October managed to zip right by, and here we are at Thanksgiving already! I'm sure the next time I turn around, it will be Christmas! We were so blessed that our grandson spend the first two years of his life here in the states and that we were able to have so many special times with him, including Thanksgivings and Christmas with him. Now he is living in the Ukraine. His little sister, Nikki, was born there this past October. This Christmas will seem very different with the family so scattered and the 'grands' overseas. Our eldest son is in California, our middle son in Moscow, youngest son in Texas. Our daughter is in Florida, and for now, we are too. We will be meeting her in town tomorrow to have Thanksgiving together. This is the first year that we are down to only 3 family members, compared to last year when we were 6. It's an adjustment!

Next, I have my own *early* Black Friday sale going on with Avon, so I'm going to list that here. For those of you who are interested, read on! For those of you aren't, just skip this part and skip to the end.

Signing into Xanga today I had to pause and think of my password.  LOL  Something tells me that it's been a little while, eh?  ;)   

There's just something about fall, isn't there?  I love the new crispness in the air, and it being brisk and sunny for a change.  Having grown up in the San Francisco Bay Area, that's the kind of weather I'm used to.  Even after all these years, I'm still amazed that it's warmer at ~night~ than it is in the ~daytme~ where I grew up.  That's just wild to me.  We're slowly decluttering and getting the house ready to sell.  I'm really looking forward to our move to Texas, where there are actually things to do and places to go that are close by.  Living in a resort town area like we do, everything is geared towards the beach and being outside.  If the humidity weren't a factor, that might be workable for us.  So, I'm really looking forward to Texas and things like the museum(s), malls, aquarium, various activities. 

What are the pros and cons where you live?  Anyone else contemplating a move in the near future?
